?Chapter 280:


    “Did you fall asleep?” Connor asked in his message. But right after sending it, he retracted it and blocked Marissa again. Although he felt a bit of satisfaction inside, he was still upset. He was frustrated that she had not reciprocated his constant references to their divorce. He blocked her at dusk, unblocked her before bedtime, and even sent her a message, which left him feeling embarrassed. He should respect himself more and wait for her toe to him. Wouldn’t she appreciate him more that way? With a scornful snort, he put his phone away.


    Domenic, Marc, and Terry noticed his whimsical expression and exchanged knowing nces, realizing he was caught up in love troubles again.


    When Marissa was settling down for the night, her phone vibrated disruptively. She reached out, only to see a message from Connor that had disappeared before she could even read it. With a chuckle and a raised eyebrow, she realized he must have removed her from the cklist. Driven by curiosity about the vanished message, Marissa replied, “Did you want to say something just now?” To her astonishment, her message bounced back, indicating that he had blocked her again. This prompted a wry smile of frustration from her.


    She acknowledged his asional immaturity. Only a child, or someone acting like one, would engage in such trivial behavior as impulsively blocking someone. If he chose to keep her blocked, that was fine with her. She had no desire to receive his messages anyway. With a dismissive scoff, Marissa silenced her phone, threw it aside, and settled back to sleep. Before she drifted off, her phone lit up again, catching her attention. Reflexively, she checked it and found a new message from Ferris. She opened the message to see what he had written.

    Ferris said, “Riss, are you going to let these onlinements go on without intervening or addressing them?” Marissa replied, “What are you referring to?”


    Ferris then said, “Take a look.” Ferris sent Marissa several screenshots showing onlinements. When she saw them, Marissa experienced a mix of anger and amusement. The other day, after hacking the Warren Group’s system under the alias Bee and engaging in a virtual battle with Him, Marissa had visited the Sunrise and dismissed the online drama. Only when she viewed the screenshots did she realize that the inte rumors had intensified dramatically.


    The rumored love triangle involving Bee, Him, and the famed doctor Riss had exploded, with wild theories and racy spection mingling truth with fiction in a chaotic blend. Bee and Him, once respected as cyber experts, were now depicted as lovestruck fools, while Riss, known for her medical expertise, was described as merely a pretty face embroiled in romantic scandals.


    Ferris said, “Are you done reading? If you don’t address this soon, Riss, you’ll be more famous for a sappy romance than for your medical skills! People have evene up with titles for this drama, like The Hackers’ Love for the Miracle Doctor and My Doctor Wife Gave Me Twins.” Then Ferris added aughing emoji and said, “And here’s a gem: My Doctor Wife Should Be Handled with Care. Hahaha…”


    Marissa was thoroughly annoyed. She decided she couldn’t let this cheesy narrative continue. With a sigh, she asked Ferris, “Could you please issue a statement for me?” Thus,te at night, a statement was posted from Riss’ team
